Chapter 205: The Storm Suddenly Changes

When the military doctor of Mu Guo arrived, Sima Changren was already unconscious, and when people saw the wound on his lower back, they all gasped and were pierced into his body by the Xuantie Han Halberd, it was not a painful thing, but people couldn't live at all.

If it weren't for Sima Changren's cultivation being too profound, and using his spiritual energy to protect the vital points of his internal organs and body, he would have died a long time ago.

Sima Changren was seriously wounded, which was a big blow to the morale of the Mu army, people understood that paper could not contain the fire, and the general was injured, and the Jin army would know sooner or later that it was necessary to break through the valley and capture Lin Haotian during this time.

After Sima Changren was wounded, the attack of the wooden army on the valley became more violent, and it was a fierce attack day and night, regardless of casualties.

In the next battle, Lin Haotian's side also became more difficult.

On the day of Sima Changren's injury, until noon the next day, the attack of the wooden army never stopped, like a tide of wooden troops, wave after wave, constantly pouring into the canyon, and then even the cavalry that was not suitable for foot combat joined in to cooperate with the infantry attack.

Li Wei personally supervised the battle, and even divided the soldiers under his command into five groups, and then tied them together with a long rope, and the five of them advanced and retreated together, either killing the enemy or dying on the battlefield, once they dared to defeat and retreat, all five of them were executed.

Under this barbaric and cruel military punishment, the soldiers of the wooden army were all desperate, and all of them rushed forward bravely, and their momentum was also affecting others, and the morale of the wooden army was also greatly boosted.

The opponent's crowd tactics made Lin Haotian's defense line retreat again and again, and often as soon as the personnel behind built the stone wall, the brothers who fought in front couldn't hold on and were forced to retreat.

The fierce battle line between the two sides was also pushed from the middle of the canyon to the end of the canyon, and by this point, the Jin army had no way to retreat. If you retreat, you have to retreat into an open valley, losing a narrow space as a barrier to resist the enemy, where can the Jin army withstand the attack of so many enemies?

The battle between the two sides at the end of the canyon can no longer be described as fierce, it is tragic and tragic.

The corpses of the wooden army quickly flattened the stone wall built by the Jin army. The soldiers of the wooden army swarmed up on the corpses, Lin Haotian and the soldiers under his command all went to the wall to face the battle, and batch after batch of enemy soldiers were killed down the corpse mountain, and similarly, the Jin soldiers were also cut down to the ground from time to time, or torn down by people.

The heavy armored cavalry that rolled down was besieged by the opposing soldiers, countless swords slashed at their bodies, even the heavy armor was deformed, and blood flowed out of the cracks in the armor. Some of the soldiers' armor was forcibly stripped off by the enemy, and the Jin army, who had lost the protection of the armor, got up from the ground and continued to fight, cutting off the knife in his hand, and fighting the other party with his fists and teeth.

The battle was endless, and the men on both sides had forgotten the existence of time, and the only thought left in the minds of the people was to kill.

The second half of the canyon. The ground was long gone, and there were corpses everywhere on the ground. The blood had gathered into bright red blisters in the low-lying areas.

After a whole night of fierce fighting, both sides have reached the end of the crossbow, especially on the side of the Jin army, the weapons in the hands of the people cannot be found intact, the tips of the guns have been smoothed, and the swords and sabers have been cut off. Many of the soldiers took out all the arrows from the quiver and used them as weapons.

But fortunately, the soldiers of the wooden army are also exhausted, the ferocity of the impact is not as fierce as before, and the fighting of both sides has become weak, compared to yesterday's vigorous performance, today's battle is more like slow motion.

At this time. Even Lin Haotian couldn't stand it, his physical strength was seriously overdrawn, he felt that his heart was about to burst, his throat and eyes were hot, as if the blood in his body cavity would spurt out at any time. But he had no choice, he could only grit his teeth and continue to fight, he knew very well that as long as he went to the battlefield, the brothers below would not even see a glimmer of hope for Zuihou, and then his defense line would immediately be broken through by the wooden army.

So, he can only fight!

Lin Haotian estimated that if the attack of the wooden army continued to be uninterrupted on this day, and continued to fight so desperately, his own side would definitely not be able to resist, and it would be a matter of time before the defense line was broken through, but what made Lin Haotian and everyone under his command breathe a sigh of relief was that the battle lasted until noon, and the wooden army retreated.

The retreat of the wooden army was not due to heavy losses, but the Jin army on the north and south sides launched an attack camp at this time.

The camp of the wooden army blocked the entrance to the canyon, and the Jin army outside did not understand the situation inside, but they could hear the sound of fierce fighting in the canyon, and they could also guess that Lin Haotian and his group fought more with less, and the situation must be precarious.

Jin Jun didn't know that Sima Changren had been seriously injured now, so the attack was cautious, mainly to contain it, so that the Mu army could not attack Lin Haotian with all his might.

Regardless of whether the Jin army's attack was fierce or weak, after all, there were more than 200,000 people, and it was a flanking attack from the north and south, the wooden army did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and all the soldiers participated in the battle and strictly defended their own camp.

The Jin army only advanced to the place fifty steps away from the wooden army camp and did not move forward, and set up a shield array on the spot, and launched a confrontation with the wooden army in the camp, the Jin army was also worried that if it attacked the wooden camp close, Sima Changren suddenly killed, and his side did not even have a person who could match it, and if he was killed in a big mess, he could not withdraw if he wanted to, and the loss was difficult to estimate.

They did not launch a hard-hitting attack, but it was exactly what the wooden army wanted, and the two sides were inside the camp and outside the camp on the other, launching a back-and-forth shooting, but neither could kill the other, but slowly consumed.

Fighting like this is not beneficial to both sides, and it is Lin Haotian in the canyon who benefits from it.

The Mu army used its energy to deal with the Jin army outside the camp, which gave Lin Haotian and his subordinate soldiers a rare rest time, and people took advantage of this free time to bandage wounds, eat and rest, and recuperate their physical strength.

Now, Lin Haotian's guards have basically been wiped out, and there are only about 300 heavy armored cavalry left, and most of them are injured.

The medicine carried by the army has long been used up, and the wounded soldiers can only be wrapped in rough strips of cloth, and in addition, the dry food in the army has also been eaten.

There was no grass growing in the valley, and no dry wood could be found, so people tore the cloth from the corpses of the wooden soldiers, set them on fire, and used them for barbecue.

The aspect of food is easy to solve, but there is no water this is too uncomfortable, there is no water source in the valley of death, the worst thing is that there has not been a rain in the vicinity of the warm and rainy Liaodong City in the past few days, people do not know how much sweat they have shed after a long time of fighting, and the water has not been replenished for a long time, and the taste can be imagined.

Now there is no water left in the Jin army, and the people's thirsty mouths are dry and their lips are bursting.

Lin Haotian frowned secretly, if this continues, there is no need for the enemy to fight, and everyone on his side will be thirsty to death, in desperation, he can only order to kill his own war horses and quench his thirst with horse blood.

In that era of cold weapons, war horses were one of the most valuable war resources, and no one would be willing to kill war horses unless they had to do so, and now Lin Haotian and the others were really in a desperate situation, and they could only drink horse blood raw.

At first, people only killed the dying war horses, but the horse blood of a war horse was only enough for a dozen soldiers to drink, and soon the golden horse was killed, and then, the soldiers of the Jin army could only shift their attention to those living horses.

For the heavy cavalry, the war horse is their other half of life, and if they lose the war horse, they will lose the meaning of existence.

The Jin army was struggling to support, and the main force of the wooden army was also dragged by the Jin army outside the camp, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

Five days passed in a flash, and in these five days, the Mu army did not make a decent attack on Lin Haotian and the others in the canyon, and only occasionally sent a small force to harass them.

On the sixth day, the tide of battle suddenly turned upside down. (To be continued......)
